Audio volume adjustment — Verify the result
Audio volume adjustment — Verify the result: Play the loudest moment of the export first and listen for crackle, buzzing or a flat, harsh edge on the peak.
Worked example
Play the loudest moment of the export first and listen for crackle, buzzing or a flat, harsh edge on the peak.
Use the same monitor setting as for the original. Those artifacts are signs that the boosted waveform hit the ceiling.
Then compare against the source at matched listening levels. At 150% the new file should sound about 3.5 dB louder, which is a small but unmistakable step; if you cannot hear a difference, check that you did not leave the slider at 100%.
Duration and format should be unchanged: a 90-second voice memo stays 90 seconds, and the result card shows the format, length and size so you can confirm that nothing else moved. The file name carries a -volume suffix before the extension.
A common mistake is judging with the player or system volume turned up. Raise the file, not the knob: set your monitor level once, play the original and the export from the same spot, and only then decide that louder is better.
If you have a waveform view available, the tallest peaks of the export should still have a little room before the top edge. Flat tops that look sliced off mean clipping, and the fix is a lower percentage, not a higher bitrate. Check this on the same device and at the same monitor level that you used for the original.
Input
Quiet voice with louder peaks
Output
Adjusted track; peak check required
Check the export on the device where it will actually be played, because a phone speaker and studio headphones reveal very different distortion.
